With all the hype from the new Paranormal Activity movie you would think ghosts in someone’s house is a brand new phenomenon. The fact is, many people have ghosts and do not even know it and just as many think they have a ghost, but in reality there is not a specter to be found. We all love a good, old-fashioned scare at the movies, but with so many people asking me if this could happen to them, I thought we could all use a little “reality check” for our current paranormal situation.

A few cold spots, phantom footsteps, shadowy showings and a few bumps in the night may be calling cards for your usually quite dead housemates. Of course all of these signs may turn out to be ordinary, explainable things, like squirrels in the attic or a loose shutter. However, sometimes those bumps in the night turn out to be something unexplainable, in that case you might just have a ghost.

Much to the disappointment of those who have been running from movie theaters to their cars and sleeping with the lights lit, 99.9% of hauntings are benevolent. What scares the heck out of many, when it comes to ghosts, is the fact that we do not have control over what they are doing. Or do we?

If you have read my books you know that one of the most important things I stress about hauntings is that the ghosts are typically trying to resolve some internal drama or conflict. They only start to bug the living when we get in their face, or more aptly, their space. Ever have a bad day and someone just walks into you at just the wrong moment? Well, ghosts were people too and they have the same feelings and ranges of emotions they had when they were alive. You can have a happy ghost or a sad ghost or both. The signs and symptoms of a haunting may point to a ghost’s mood.

Then there is that rather disturbing notion of ghosts talking to us in our sleep. It is bad enough to be awakened in the middle of the night by something lurking around your room, but what about having a conversation or better and argument with someone you do not recognize…while you dream. Ghosts do and will communicate with us in our sleep, and other than possibly sending us into an adrenalized state of waking panic, they are not going to harm us. It is more likely we will harm ourselves by falling out of bed. Ghosts are not out to scare us. We just happen to get in their way sometimes. In most instances they will move away from us and not interact. We may sense or feel their icy or warm presence, but they will generally make limited contact. It is our wonderfully human over-active imaginations that tend to play the biggest role in many “hauntings.” The ghosts must have quite a few laughs at our neurotic “check under the bed” mentality.

For those like me who are intuitive, you may have to learn how to ask your Higher Guides for protection. Ghosts will recognize and sometimes seek out those who have the psychic or mediumistic gift. While the gift is not returnable, a person can learn to turn it on and off.  If you have been experiencing some paranormal activity of your own at night while you sleep, I suggest you learn how to protect yourself before you go to bed. Ask you Higher Guides to help you stay protected as you sleep. It worked for me. You may not be able to stop being psychic, but you can certainly learn to control the urges to throw out psychic lines.

If you have a ghost, learn to coexist peacefully. If you have a ghost with some negative energy, call in Higher Guides to help move the energy away from you. Everybody has a bad day, ghosts included. If you should wind up with some paranormal activity that is too much to handle, don’t panic, there are plenty of sources of help. Most importantly, leave the movies… at the theater and remember to do a reality check on your way home. Your ghosts will thank you and you will sleep a lot better at night.

    I’m of the belief that disembodied spirits are always surrounding us since they remain on Earth’s sphere until the time of judgement. Although there are times when their activities disturb (for lack of a better word) our surroundings, I’m convinced ongoing and encreasing paranomoral acitivities are caused by evil spirits whose purpose is to confuse and cause fear.

    I have experienced poltergiest activity many times in my life and I have even sensed spirits just “passing through”. There is a noteable difference in the feelings of peace or discord these spirits emit. Unfortunetely, it’s not always possible to distinguish between the two types of spirits unless the acitivity escalates in frequency and severity.

    So I guess I’m saying it may not always be possible to “coexist peacefully” with a ghost if their intention is not peaceful, but we certainly have the power to expel a negative spirit.

    Yes, there are all types of energies around both negative and positive. While most tend to just be doing their own thing and finishing business, some are of the more negative type. Luckily we d have higher Guides to help us in these matters. This is why I will draw in a white light of protection around me each day and when I work in a place I feel is more negative than positive.
